🌿 Comprehensive Adult Autism Evaluation
Investment: $2,000
A respectful, personalized evaluation designed to help you understand whether autism may explain lifelong experiences that have previously felt confusing, overwhelming, or misunderstood.
The evaluation is trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming. It considers the whole person—not simply a checklist of symptoms or outdated stereotypes.
Your Evaluation May Include:
✔ An initial consultation to discuss your questions and determine whether an autism diagnostic assessment is appropriate
✔ A comprehensive clinical and diagnostic interview
✔ Review of developmental, social, educational, occupational, and mental health history
✔ Standardized autism screening and assessment measures selected for your individual needs
✔ Exploration of communication, relationships, sensory experiences, routines, and focused interests
✔ Assessment of masking, camouflaging, shutdowns, and autistic burnout
✔ Consideration of overlapping concerns such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, and trauma
✔ Input from a family member, partner, or another person who knows you well, when appropriate and available
✔ A personalized feedback session explaining the findings
✔ A comprehensive written report
✔ Individualized recommendations, resources, and suggested next steps
An Evaluation May Help You Better Understand:
✔ Why you have frequently felt different or misunderstood
✔ Social and communication patterns
✔ Sensory sensitivities and sources of overwhelm
✔ Masking and the exhaustion it can create
✔ Your need for routines, predictability, or focused interests
✔ Shutdowns, emotional overload, and recurring burnout
✔ Relationship and attachment patterns
✔ The possible overlap between autism, ADHD, trauma, anxiety, or depression
✔ Your individual strengths, needs, and preferred ways of functioning
What You Can Expect
You will be treated with compassion, curiosity, and respect throughout the evaluation process. You will have the opportunity to describe your experiences without judgment and receive clear explanations of the findings.
An evaluation does not guarantee an autism diagnosis. Conclusions are based on your history, clinical interviews, standardized assessment results, diagnostic criteria, and the complete picture of your individual experiences.
You Are Not Broken
Discovering that you may be autistic does not change who you are. It may give you a more accurate and compassionate way to understand yourself.
The goal of an evaluation is not to place you in a box. It is to help you recognize your strengths, understand your needs, reduce self-blame, and make informed decisions about the support, including mental health therapy for adults, that may help you move forward.
Payment and Insurance Information
Adult autism evaluations may not be covered by every insurance plan. Please contact your insurance provider to verify whether psychological or diagnostic autism evaluations are included in your benefits.
Superbills may be available upon request for clients seeking possible out-of-network reimbursement. Reimbursement is not guaranteed and depends on your individual insurance plan. Please confirm your coverage directly with your insurance provider.
